If we get to teach competing views, then I can start Intro to GIS or
Maps and Map Interpretation by stating the Earth is flat. This
eliminates all the problems geographers have had with messy map
projections. Of course, I feel sorry for the folks in Astronomy - the
math for retrograde motion of the planets, assuming an Earth-centered
universe, is much worse than eliptical orbits around the Sun.
The one department this doesn't affect is Philosophy and Religion. It's
always been their job to teach all views. Or does this mean that they
have to teach Hinduism as it it viewed by Christians and Christianity as
it is view by Hindus?
And how does this affect the 120-hour rule?
